Rated 5 out of 5 by gsb8675 Great Dual Mode PC
This is a review of the PC, not of the future for Sony support in light of the PC division sell-off. That is what it is and you either trust support to stay the course or you don't.
This is my work PC and I love it so let me list my issues first.
1. Keys on the keyboard are shallow. Coming from Lenovo and Dell, I'm used to deeper travel. Takes some getting used to but I can't say I'm a huge fan.
2. The fan is loud. There were issues with this PC in the early days re: frequent use of the fan. This seems to have been resolved because for the majority of the time, this PC is whisper quiet. However, when the fan does turn on - wow, you can hear it across the room.
3. CPU is nice but nothing too special. I don't know this business but noticed that the same processor is used by Sony competitors in similar products so I don't know, maybe Intel had a sale.
4. I'd prefer an SSD and actually replaced the HDD with a Samsung 840 EVO. Now the HDD is an external drive I can take with me. (I had Geek Squad swap the drive. I tried but the PC housing is rough to take apart. The Geeks looked depressed when I told them it was the Sony Flip.)
Remember, I love this PC. None of the above detract: Why?
1. Greatest flip mechanism on the planet right now. Works like a charm and is sexy to boot.
2. Beautiful display. Gorgeous colors. And 1920x1080 is enough. Anything larger messes with the Web browser and other software. And this isn't an 82" wall-mounted display. Why do you need the extra pixels?
3. Light weight. Yes, it's light. I've seen complaints about the weight but hey, this isn't a phone. It's a very thin and light PC packed with capability. Plus the power plug is tiny as well. I noticed because you should have seen the brick on my last (non-Sony) laptop.
4. Big flip display. I love the 15". I've also read reviews wondering who would want such a large flip display. I do! Very useful (and - again - sexy) in business to flip the display and walk through a pitch without dealing with the keyboard.
5. Great battery life. I'm not a test lab so I have no idea how long this thing can go but I've watched it give me 6+ hours. For a 15" HD display, this is pretty good. And that's with WiFi on! Just monitor display brightness and I think you'll get a lot of use. Need more than six hours? Get a tablet!
6. Windows 8.1. You don't like it? Sorry. For me, the Modern UI view is irrelevant. I'm on my desktop the whole time. Meanwhile, the shortcuts and search capability are more convenient and faster than on Windows.
7. Minimal preinstalled garbage apps: There was a bit but I'm not seeing tons of garbage apps taking up precious CPU cycles. And the VAIO Care app isn't half bad.
8. Touchscreen. Very responsive. Important for my job and I have zero complaints.
I've had the PC for one month - long enough to find big problems, not long enough to encounter annoying little problems. Overall, I am very pleased and would recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Atullal123 Nice Laptop
It is a great laptop with great features and also provides nice touch and has nice specs too.But If it had Nvidia 760M or Nvidia 750M it would have outperformed every other laptop in the market. So, Please Sony think about it.
